"A bizarre masterwork chronicling one artist's experience in New York and Hollywood in the '70's."
Author and film critic, Brad Stevens.
From the "Forward," also by Mr. Stevens: ANATOMY OF A WEREWOLF stands in marked opposition to contemporary American literature: in a culture where the best is what sells the most, and whose artistic representatives speak to us in those terms likely to attract a consensus, Metrov's distinctive voice is more valuable than ever.
He does not address his audience as consumers: indeed, like so many termite artists, he does not seem to be addressing an audience at all, but rather throwing his works - paintings, screenplays, novels - into a void where they will be left to fend for themselves. He stands with those American mavericks committed to an artistic practice which puts me in mind of the Rachel, that "devious-cruising" ship which appears at the end of MOBY DICK and which, "... in her retracing search after her missing children, only found another orphan."(With vintage photos from the '70's)
